Advice using Black Walnut/Wormwood & Olive Leaf

Hi folks,

It’s been a while that I’ve posted in this group. I have Lyme/Bartonella and other issues. In the last four mos have been dealing with cranial neuropathy, brain fog, and occipital neuralgia I believe due to bartonella.

I’ve been going to PT and getting nerve blocks through my neuro and this has greatly improved my lot. However, I realized I needed to add either herbs or ABX. I added Black Walnut/Wormwood/Clove tincture and Olive Leaf on top of an epigastric vagal nerve manipulation at my PT’s office has greatly helped. I started this regime I believe on Monday & as of yesterday noticed my stomach gurgling & cramping a little at PT. Later in the evening I had the runs and then again this morning after breakfast.

Any ideas? The herbs? Die-off, or Candida?
Advice appreciated! Thanks!

Okay! Thanks! I’ve been doing it up to three times per day. Would you stop or keep going?

I took those herbs as a gut dysbiosis protocol. (Then added in berberine and artemisinin once I adjusted to them.) They are good stuff, but very strong. You are killing things in there, so the discomfort and diarrhea make sense. I would feel crummy-of-tum for a few hours after taking them, so in order to make sure I ate enough calories (which was a concern for me at the time) I only took one dose per day. Add a probiotic a few hours after or before your doses. If you have total watery diarrhea and are worried about dehydration or malnutrition, then lower your dose. A little bentonite clay (away from both the herbs and the probiotics) would help to firm your stool and absorb some of the toxins. Some people find olive leaf too stimulating to the immune system, so if you develop inflammation, then that's the one I'd drop first.
